Refusal to Postpone Iranian Discussions Ires Soviet Delegate
NEW YORK. Mar. 26.—(U.E)—The United National Security Council adjourned tonight in the midst of a bitter fight after Russia delivered an ultimatum threatening to boycott Iranian discussions unless they were postponed to Apr. 10.
Beforr the weary delegates adjourned at 6:25 p.m. until 3 p.m. tomorrow, the council named a three-man subcommittee from tht United States, Russia and France to report on a confusion of motions on the Iran dispute.
..Russian chief delegate Andrei A. Gromyoko who had been battling stubbornly throughout the day against nine members of the 11-man security council, hurled his ultimatum at the council after suffering two stinging defeats.
Demanding an immediate postponement of discussion until Apr. 10 —as he had asked originally Mar. 19—Gromyoko said:
“If the Security Council does not feel able to postpone discussion until the 10th of April the Soviet government will not feel ready to take part in such a discussion.”

Unhappy Male Reveals Secret Of Lost Ring
The “Wedding Ring Mystery” which was reported last Wednesday has been solved—at least partially.
Last term a wedding ring and a diamond engagement ring were found on the same day and turned in to the lost and found bureau in the information office. The fact that no one made any attempt to recover these lost possessions suggested a mystery of frustrated love of some campus lovely.
The appearance of the story in the Daily Trojan prompted the loser into action. When the unhappy da msel Identified and claimed the engagement ring, theories were shattered—the damsel was a man.
No one has made a claim on the wedding ring, wiiich may prove to be an heirloom of some student, if he or she ever shows up.
ment of the atom bomb, said today the adaptability of atomic energy to industrial use had been known for some time and charged it was “disgraceful’’ the U. S. was not farther along with an atomic power program.
Lattimer’s statement was provoked by disclosure in Washington. D. C., that scientists had revealed to the Senate atomic energy committee a method of treating plutonium which opened the way for eventual use of atomic energy for peacetime industrial purposes.
Lattimer, in whose laboratories at the University of California plutonium actually was discovered by Dr. Glenn Seaborg, said that an American atomic power plant could be in operation in two years “if we really bore down on it.”
With it, he said, energy comparable to that from a ton of coal could be produced for $5. A ton of coal in California currently costs $15.
A 100 000 kilowatt electric power plant, standard size used by most power companies, could be run for an entire year with 100 pounds of plutonium, he said.
The process labled in Washington as ‘•denaturing’’ he said was the well-known method of mixing pure plutonium with uranium so that it would produce energy without the I explosive results of the atom bomb.
"It is disgraceful that we aren’t well along with an industrial powder j program using this method," he said. "Within ten years Russia and England will have major industrial atomic power plants in operation.”

Henri Bonnet of France, who had remained silent almost all day as the others wrangled, finally offered the sub-committee proposal when it looked as If a showdown betw'een the western and the eastern delegates of the Big Three was imminent.
Bonnet wanted to name President Quo Tai-Chi of China a member of the sub-committee, but Bonnet I himself was nominated—and there ; was laughter for the first time in a long day because he had put himself on the spot as the controlling ; voter with the United States on one I side of him and Russia on the other.

Revising of the old constitution of the Associate Students will occupy the efforts of the Senate at its meeting at 7:15 this evening in 418 Student Union.
“The somewhat antiquated constitution of the Associated Students has been under a process of revision since the beginning of this term, but we hope to complete the revision by the end of this month,” said Jackie Boice, vice-president of Associated Students. “New committees will be approved or disapproved at this meeting also.”
The Senate is composed of the heads of all SC campus organizations and its purpose is to better university life for students. Bill Armbruster. president of Associated Students, is presiding officer of the Senate.

Delta Sigs Hold Memorial Dance
Promising to become a tradition, the second annual informal dancing party, in honor of the late Bob Bering, was held by Delta Sigma Phi Saturday night at the home of Bering's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ellis Bering.
Veterans Plan Summer Terms
So many conflicting reports have been going the rounds concerning the rights of veterans to attend the summer session that Dr. P. A. Libby, coordinator of veterans affairs, is now campaigning to set the matter straight.
Dr. Libby said, “The veterans administration considers the summer session a complete and separate session of the university, and student expenses will be paid and subsistence granted just the same as in any session. The only difference between a summer session and any other session is in the length of time and the amount of load involved.”
Libby continued, “The summer session will be divided into tw’o parts; the first, six weeks in length, and the second, four weeks. There will also be certain courses which will run continuously throughout the ten weeks.
‘The maximum amount of units that may be taken is six in the first session and four in the second, a total of ten units.
“In order to obtain full subsistence, a veteran must take at least five units in the first session and ithree in the second, a total of eight units. (For graduate students, four units In the first session and two in the second, a total of six units.”
“If a veteran wishes to attend only one session he may do so and receive full subsistence /or that session provided that he enrolls in the minimum number of units.”
Libby went on to explain that if a veteran does attend both sessions, he will be considered to be taking a full load as long as he enrolls for at least eight units during the ten weeks. He also added that the summer session was considered as an extra session and is in no way connected with the remainder of the academic year.
The coordinator for veterans affairs said that the amount of time spent in summer school is considered as a complete session (a student w-ho enrolls for the six-wTeek session will be charged with six weeks out of the total time alloted for his education).
Libby concluded, “It is to a veteran’s advantage to enroll for both sessions of summer school, since in that way his training will not be interrupted. When he enrolls for the fall semester he should continue to receive his subsistence checks without a break.’’
Trojanality Man' Sought by Coeds
Think, girls, think. Do you have a man in mind who would typify the spirit of Troy?
All sororities and dorms are requested to submit names of candidates for “Trojanality Man’’ to Elvnor Rae Valentine at the Chi Omega house, 742 West 28th street, by Thursday, Mar. 28.
Candidates will be selected for service in school activities, character, and scholarship.
Vets Ask Trojans To Dance
Trovet Dig Scheduled For Saturday Night; New Talent Featured
There will be no dearth of damsels for dervish veterans to dance with at the President von KleinSmid-sponsored veteran's dance Saturday night in the student lounge if all the girls that have been invited attend.
Hubert Finlay, Trovet’s social committee chairman, announced that all girls on campus are cordially invited to attend the dig which will begin at 8 and continue until 11. “Special invitations are being tendered dormitory and sorority girls,” Finlay revealed.
All veterans are invited to attend by President von KleinSmid who is sponsoring the dance and punch and cookies will be served.
Married veterans may bring their handicaps (wives) and single veterans may bring dates if they like. Finluy cautions all single veterans that can do so to bring their dates inasmuch as many of the sororities are having presentations Saturday night and that will undoubtedly cut down the number of coeds from those organizations who will attend.
Entertainment is being furnished by Trovets and Finlay announced yesterday that several of Troy’s outstanding performers will be on tap for the affair.
Latest acquisitions of Finlay’s are Dolores Peterson, singing star of last Friday night’s Red Cross show, and Herbert Greenhouse, pianist.
Greenhouse will play several of his own original compositions which will mark the first time these tunes have ever been played publicly on campus. Miss Peterson, a voice major who also has the lead in the forthcoming varsity show, will sing some of Greenhouse’s songs. Finlay declares that Greenhouse’s tunes are “terrific.”
Music for the dance will consist largely of recordings which Finlay said would be hit-parade tunes of recent vintage.
Interspersed between the “canned” music of the juke box. however, will be the jive of Al Guns-ter and his Trovet band who will play several specialty numbers.
Making their initial bow on campus, the Gunsterites will feature the singing of cute, brunette, June Anderson, the saxophone playing of Hubert Finlay, Benny Arnold, and Chuck Mann, the trumpet of Bill Murray, Albert Grassi on the guitar, Don Woodward on drums, Bud Witt, pianist, Yale Kroloff, bass, and Jack Hampton, trombonist.
“All members of the band,” stated leader Gunster, “are experienced musicians. They played with army orchestras during their tenure in the service and prior to that they were variously members of the orchestras of Jimmy Dorsey, Alvino Rey, Al Donahue, Joe Sanders, Buddy Rich, and Buddy Rogers.
“Trovets who signed up for the social committee are asked to report to the Trovet office before Friday,” Finlay said.
Photographers Snap Veterans For Look Mag
SC will hit the national newsstands again soon!
Photographer Dash Taylor and two assistants were on the campus for Look magazine doing a pictorial report on GIs in school.
Shots of the campus and classes filled with veterans were made and will be pared and selected to meet the needs of the magazine.
It is estimated that a period of two or three months will elapse before the pictures appear in print. However, if it is found that the material will not be ready until summer, it will be held over until next fall for a special gofhg back to school issue.

Calls for Return to Ancient Philosophy;
Sees Startling Theories of Life in Future
Prince Matila Ghyka dropped a philosophical bombshell in Bowne hall yesterday afternoon when he verbally blasted the behavior of man, his war-like traits and his intelligence, i and compared the modern mind with that ol an insect.
The Prince, a visiting professor in the SC school of
philosophy, also threw a few - -
“hand grenades" at present day j thinking and science when he told his Philosophy forum audience thaT. i we should retrogress a rew tnous- j j and centuries and study the ancient Buddha philosophy wmch predomi- | nated in the early cultural days of India.
“The Buddhism religion,” he stressed, “brings up the most important being of man. Our life disintegrates with the phenomenon called death, but the real self of man might have the power to reform after death in a new personality which may start another life in the same or another temporal world. In other words, we are linked with the Buddhist theory of personality and rebirth, more commonly known as reincarnation.”

France also has agreed to withdraw temporarily her request that the problem be submitted to the UNO Security Council.
The new French proposals were contained in identical notes handed by Foreign Minister Georges Bid-ault yesterday to Jefferson Caffery, American ambassador, and Alfred Duff Cooper, British ambassador. The contents of the note also were conveyed to Alexander E. Bogomolov, Soviet ambassador.
Instead of a complete diplomatic break, France suggested the three ambassadors to Spain be replaced by “diplomatic delegates.”
The French government thus has yielded after an exchange of notes lasting nearly a month, in which both the United States and Great Britain showed strong reluctance to submit the Spanish question to the security council. The two powers held that the government of Francisco Franco could not be regarded as & menace to world oeace under the meaning of the San Francisco declaration.

A curb to wars, he said, will probably come through thousands of years of evolution when some “fusing together of racial or national collective minds takes place and forms a collective soul of the human race.”
Dissecting some of science’s theories, the Prince brought up the fact that some philosophers are disagreeing with the belief that our world was created by a materialistic problem and that, in true reality, the universe was formed by the spiritualistic “hand of God.” The return of modem science to a rigorously Pythagorean point of view proves the necessity of an absolute beginning of our physical universe.

Veterans Plan Summer Terms
So many conflicting reports have been going the rounds concerning the rights of veterans to attend the summer session that Dr. P. A. Libby, coordinator of veterans affairs, is now campaigning to set the matter straight.
Dr. Libby said, “The veterans administration considers the summer session a complete and separate session of the university, and student expenses will be paid and subsistence granted just the same as in any session. The only difference between a summer session and any other session is in the length of time and the amount of load involved.”
Libby continued, “The summer session will be divided into tw’o parts; the first, six weeks in length, and the second, four weeks. There will also be certain courses which will run continuously throughout the ten weeks.
‘The maximum amount of units that may be taken is six in the first session and four in the second, a total of ten units.
“In order to obtain full subsistence, a veteran must take at least five units in the first session and ithree in the second, a total of eight units. (For graduate students, four units In the first session and two in the second, a total of six units.”
“If a veteran wishes to attend only one session he may do so and receive full subsistence /or that session provided that he enrolls in the minimum number of units.”
Libby went on to explain that if a veteran does attend both sessions, he will be considered to be taking a full load as long as he enrolls for at least eight units during the ten weeks. He also added that the summer session was considered as an extra session and is in no way connected with the remainder of the academic year.
The coordinator for veterans affairs said that the amount of time spent in summer school is considered as a complete session (a student w-ho enrolls for the six-wTeek session will be charged with six weeks out of the total time alloted for his education).
Libby concluded, “It is to a veteran’s advantage to enroll for both sessions of summer school, since in that way his training will not be interrupted. When he enrolls for the fall semester he should continue to receive his subsistence checks without a break.’’

Vets Ask Trojans To Dance
Trovet Dig Scheduled For Saturday Night; New Talent Featured
There will be no dearth of damsels for dervish veterans to dance with at the President von KleinSmid-sponsored veteran's dance Saturday night in the student lounge if all the girls that have been invited attend.
Hubert Finlay, Trovet’s social committee chairman, announced that all girls on campus are cordially invited to attend the dig which will begin at 8 and continue until 11. “Special invitations are being tendered dormitory and sorority girls,” Finlay revealed.
All veterans are invited to attend by President von KleinSmid who is sponsoring the dance and punch and cookies will be served.
Married veterans may bring their handicaps (wives) and single veterans may bring dates if they like. Finluy cautions all single veterans that can do so to bring their dates inasmuch as many of the sororities are having presentations Saturday night and that will undoubtedly cut down the number of coeds from those organizations who will attend.
Entertainment is being furnished by Trovets and Finlay announced yesterday that several of Troy’s outstanding performers will be on tap for the affair.
Latest acquisitions of Finlay’s are Dolores Peterson, singing star of last Friday night’s Red Cross show, and Herbert Greenhouse, pianist.
Greenhouse will play several of his own original compositions which will mark the first time these tunes have ever been played publicly on campus. Miss Peterson, a voice major who also has the lead in the forthcoming varsity show, will sing some of Greenhouse’s songs. Finlay declares that Greenhouse’s tunes are “terrific.”
Music for the dance will consist largely of recordings which Finlay said would be hit-parade tunes of recent vintage.
Interspersed between the “canned” music of the juke box. however, will be the jive of Al Guns-ter and his Trovet band who will play several specialty numbers.
Making their initial bow on campus, the Gunsterites will feature the singing of cute, brunette, June Anderson, the saxophone playing of Hubert Finlay, Benny Arnold, and Chuck Mann, the trumpet of Bill Murray, Albert Grassi on the guitar, Don Woodward on drums, Bud Witt, pianist, Yale Kroloff, bass, and Jack Hampton, trombonist.
“All members of the band,” stated leader Gunster, “are experienced musicians. They played with army orchestras during their tenure in the service and prior to that they were variously members of the orchestras of Jimmy Dorsey, Alvino Rey, Al Donahue, Joe Sanders, Buddy Rich, and Buddy Rogers.
“Trovets who signed up for the social committee are asked to report to the Trovet office before Friday,” Finlay said.
Photographers Snap Veterans For Look Mag
SC will hit the national newsstands again soon!
Photographer Dash Taylor and two assistants were on the campus for Look magazine doing a pictorial report on GIs in school.
Shots of the campus and classes filled with veterans were made and will be pared and selected to meet the needs of the magazine.
It is estimated that a period of two or three months will elapse before the pictures appear in print. However, if it is found that the material will not be ready until summer, it will be held over until next fall for a special gofhg back to school issue.

Calls for Return to Ancient Philosophy;
Sees Startling Theories of Life in Future
Prince Matila Ghyka dropped a philosophical bombshell in Bowne hall yesterday afternoon when he verbally blasted the behavior of man, his war-like traits and his intelligence, i and compared the modern mind with that ol an insect.
The Prince, a visiting professor in the SC school of
philosophy, also threw a few - -
“hand grenades" at present day j thinking and science when he told his Philosophy forum audience thaT. i we should retrogress a rew tnous- j j and centuries and study the ancient Buddha philosophy wmch predomi- | nated in the early cultural days of India.
“The Buddhism religion,” he stressed, “brings up the most important being of man. Our life disintegrates with the phenomenon called death, but the real self of man might have the power to reform after death in a new personality which may start another life in the same or another temporal world. In other words, we are linked with the Buddhist theory of personality and rebirth, more commonly known as reincarnation.”

France also has agreed to withdraw temporarily her request that the problem be submitted to the UNO Security Council.
The new French proposals were contained in identical notes handed by Foreign Minister Georges Bid-ault yesterday to Jefferson Caffery, American ambassador, and Alfred Duff Cooper, British ambassador. The contents of the note also were conveyed to Alexander E. Bogomolov, Soviet ambassador.
Instead of a complete diplomatic break, France suggested the three ambassadors to Spain be replaced by “diplomatic delegates.”
The French government thus has yielded after an exchange of notes lasting nearly a month, in which both the United States and Great Britain showed strong reluctance to submit the Spanish question to the security council. The two powers held that the government of Francisco Franco could not be regarded as & menace to world oeace under the meaning of the San Francisco declaration.

A curb to wars, he said, will probably come through thousands of years of evolution when some “fusing together of racial or national collective minds takes place and forms a collective soul of the human race.”
Dissecting some of science’s theories, the Prince brought up the fact that some philosophers are disagreeing with the belief that our world was created by a materialistic problem and that, in true reality, the universe was formed by the spiritualistic “hand of God.” The return of modem science to a rigorously Pythagorean point of view proves the necessity of an absolute beginning of our physical universe.
